why trade at home, my money, and not a fund? in order of importance, off the top of my head (may have forgotten some): freedom of time / family / friends. i can take days off. i can go play basketball in the middle of the day (like today). i can do things with family or friends that...

nor did i! and i think both books have lots of useful information in them. i did something like that last year with some of my favorite setups, with different graphs printed at the time, and then stuff like "breaks out, but comes back in with (parameters, timeframes, etc.)" for my notes, to...

thanks - i do well trading, just always willing to learn more and since there's realtime stuff on, i'd like it to be more pertinent to trading than having a political fight. i have made some money (and saved some money) on faber breaking news before briefing.com had it, and obviously the TA is...

fox biz, when they came out, said their channel was aimed to people who thought cnbc was too confusing (paraphrased from memory, but related to stock charts) and advanced. here's one from melissa francis: http://www.talkingbiznews.com/1/more-main-street-implications/ "CNBC caters to day...

i've got cnbc's early show on low, not paying attention, and i hear joe kernan say something like "what was that music? two door cinema club? safe and sound?" then some blather about a different person on sound this morning. i don't think two door cinema has a song safe and sound - but...

themickey - i noticed the same thing as you, which is why i've posted a lot less here. i'd rather spend downtime during the trading day reading other sites so i can do more things with family or friends after i'm done trading. quality of life and all that stuff. i've met a few of the people...

is it blocked by your AV or firewall before it gets to the router?

reduce your size until you don't care about the money, but take the trade the right way. no less than 200 shares, so you can sell 100 shares at some predetermined point consistent with your system. if you can't get it done with 200 share blocks, it's not for you.

if you're making 120k (pounds) + / yr (base) as a 23yo, you should NEVER be thinking of going solo. if you want to go solo, you'll have lots of time to develop your methodology under the bank's "cover" so that if you blow up, you won't personally take the hit. in the meantime, you can...

sle - the nypl won't take them? or the SIBL branch on 33rd? you'd also get a deduction on them.

the path trains will be down. the subways will be down. the only other way there is ferries, and part of ny waterway is down (southern hoboken -> wfc, southern hoboken to pier 11). you'd need to get to liberty harbor to get to wfc, or take the 16th ave hoboken -> wfc. i worked in...

bob111 - the main reason for the PDT rule is to prevent lawsuits against trading firms. the rule is ridiculous, of course.

formal gold - is that the stock which fell from $25?, was based in california, and had backers with ties to al qaeda and was a complete scam? i almost never remember stocks with lots of precision after, but that one sticks in my mind. begins with a G, was a nasdaq stock?

oh ktel was awesome to watch. so sick.

tasr, lhsp(f) are two that come to mind. also you can find a ton of stocks from the internet age (ie. cmrc, cmgi, etc.) which basically ran a ton and ran back down a ton.

i'm guessing this goes back to the 1/100 of a c hidden increment that normal traders can't do?

thank you wickcity, i found one person who finally received amended 1099s. tradestation told me the first batch had just gone out, and i couldn't find anyone who had received corrected 1099. there are a number of people who haven't received corrected 1099s. on or about april 13...

to some of their clients, in september, several months after they should have been given out to their clients. there are some (maybe many) who have gotten their tradestation 1099s, but there are a group of people who have not, and tradestation has no estimated time for when they will be sent...

occam - NITE in the late 90s was frontrunning its customers - when pre-mkt "market orders" were placed, they'd be on the bid in pre-mkt, their customers would get filled at the open at higher prices (which NITE had either bought pre-mkt or sold out of their inventory), and they'd pocket the...

bullets was a way to synthetically short a stock on a downtick. it involved a combination of simultaneously buying stock, puts and (i believe) selling calls through a one click process.
